^^ Now that's 'getting out a bit' booner! Last time I drove around Penang, still very little turismo type development beyond Telok Bahang. I doubt most tourists even make it there.
If you are a boozer, foodie, ladies man &/or golfer, that goes double.
Food is no more expensive in Penang than in Pattaya. The Chinese & Indian ladies are far nicer & better quality, and Penang has three good golf courses and is within driving distance of the Cameron Highlands golf course with a far more pleasant playing climate than any course in Thailand
If the traffic crossing the border northwards every weekend is an indication, Thailand still has Malaysia beat on the 'entertainment' front. Certainly, many western expats prefer the 'exotic yet liberal' Buddhist aspect of Thailand to the more socially conservative, Moslem Malaysia.
Yes, Thailand has abundant freely available prostitution, far more than the vast majority of countries. That in my book makes it a bad place to live.
Bayan Lepas airport is small- limited destinations. SUV is massive- many destinations. It takes about the same time to get from Batu Ferringhi to Bayan Lepas, as Pattaya to swampie. Then there's the new Sattahip airport development, even closer.
Batu to the airport takes less than an hour outside of rush hour. Flights to KL take less than an hour and cost about 400 baht, and KL is better connected and cheaper to fly from than BKK.
But hey .....just look at other threads in this forum where full time teaching jobs are paying a princely 40,000 baht a month.Puts things in perspective.
If you want to drink wine you could have a problem but otherwise......no worries. Your only major problems come with long term visas and medical expenses. Make sure you have something put aside for these.

He certainly does get wound up
Back in the 'old days' when he started in with his patented forum disruption on TD he once asked me if I wanted to come to CM to "beat him up?" His words jing jing...
The boy is certifiably many fries short of a Happy Meal.
God, the panic within the Dems, MSM, and left must be horrifying...realizing that Joe is really the best they've got.
